* ° Vee . . TUESDAY,: MAY 21, 1918. 7 -WOMEN’RELATIVES OF SOLDIERS IN “SERVICE IN FRANCE CAN’T GO OVER '. A NATION'S PEACE; “This. department is not, issuing passports enabling the mothers, wives, daughters or sisters of officials or en- listed men’ in the armed forces of the United States to visit European coun- ‘tries. For these reasons no passports will be issued to the lady in question who is an American citizen. As the other lady is a citizen of a foreign conity of course none can be issuec er.” The above dispatch, received from the department of state at Washing- ton by the clerk of the United States district court in Bismarck, ruins the hopés df two young Eismarck women who haw volunteered for service in France. One of these young women, who is a/citizen by virtue of having married a United States citizen, was born in France, speaks both English and French fluently, and had hoped to be of service as an interpreter with ‘the Red Cross or in some other branch. Her husband now is fighting in France, and her sister, who is not an ‘American citizen, had intended to go over with her, to Je with her aged parents. In the other instance a young woman who has a brother in the serv- ice over there had volunteered for the canteén service. She is also a linguist who speaks French fluently, but because she has a brother serving with Pershing she cannot be accepted. .AN of the parties affected by this ruling, the first promulgated locally on this subject, are members of prom- inent Bismarck families and have been active in the Red Cross and other war relief work. | wee eee eeeeeeeeeeaeess@>O”O)E(é>—©™O™DO@sEO@—@—— OOoor—o—o_or——™"! NONE OF CLASSES OF 1913 AND _1914 LEFT—ALUMNI RECEPTION PLANS CHANGED, HOOVERIZED The usual custom ofthe alumni as- sociation of the Bismarck high school, having the class the fifth year prev- ious to arrange the banquet for the an- nual reunion, must be suspended with this year owing to the fact that no one from the class of “Thirteen” are here, and not. enough of the class of ‘Four- teen’ to make a committee. It has been. suggested by various members of the alumni that th eusual formality be done away with and that the high school gymnasfum be used for. the purpose, thereby eliminating a great. deal of.expense and work. A Hooverized. lunch will ‘be served and an admission of fifty cents charged. The committee on - entertainment is compo: of Bessie Varney, Mrs. E. P. Quain» Mrs. G. H: Dollar, Olga Kupp, Esther Staley and ‘Supt J. .M. ‘Martin. The committee on refresh- ments: Carrie Haugen, Gertrude Ev- arts, Mrs. Roach, Ada Maurer, and Ha- zel Hendershott. Announcement of the reunion will be made only through the press and it is necessary, before any’ definite ar- rangements can be made, that all those desiring to attend must notify Miss Haugen or a member of the re freshment committee before June 1. It: is ‘earnestly hoped that all mem- bers of the alumni will heartily co-op- erate with this new plan and that ev- ery one in the city will attend. Fri: day evening, June i. is.the date set for the annual reunion. DONATIONS ‘TO. RED CROSS ARE APPRECIATED The women workers in the Burleigh county work-rooms’ are’ very grateful to Dr. N.'O. Ramstad for the gift of an electric motor for:a sewing ma- chine, The long seams on the gar- ménts are much more quickly and eas- ily made by the use of this motor, to say nothing of the saving in “woman power.” Some of the chapters of the state have purchased these mo- tors, but. Burleigh county workers have been so anxious to use every cent donated for materiaJs that they have sewed these long seams in th eold ard- uous manner, and uncomplainingly borne the ensuing fatigue.- This kind “and-thoughtful:gift of Dr. Ramstad’s is_much appreciated. i ifancoin.s¢hool ‘No, | has presented the chapter with $50.70.; This was ‘the proceeds from a. dance given at old Fort Lincoln, and is most, opportune, as)the chapter has recently purchased: ‘large amount of yarn, and money is needed to refill:the depleted. treasury.

Fort Lincoln is favored 1s the site for the first institution of this kind on American soil principally because of the healthfulness of location, states Secretary Box, and furthermore because it is located in a region where food and fuel are abundant, and where the strictures common in the east are not so much to be fear- ed. The war department regards this as a climate in which injured or sick Sammies would quickly regain their health and where they would be so far removed from en? that their mental poise premptly be regained, wo When the defense counc’! officials left Washington, the North Dakota Wn.

Pea- body, Mass; Kossuth ‘county, Iowa; Pontotoc county, Oklahoma, and Yolo county, California were others that reported early in the day they had gone over the top. Much rivalry in the sale of White House wool was manifested in the tel- egrams from the governors. Governor Boyle of Nevada. wired “State that realized $275,000 by sale of Gridley sack of flour for the sani- tary commission in the civil war has not forgotten how to bid for liberty.” “Every dollar contributed: will help the boys who are going over there to shear the Kaiser's goat.” telegraph- ed Governor Catts of Florida. “Lively bidding is expected,” wired Governor Frazier: of ‘North Dakota, and telegrams of similar purport came from Governor Riggs of Atas ka, Pinkham of Hawaii, Louis F. Hart acting governor of Washington and others. * Wishes for the success of the wer- cy drive were expressed ‘y, the Brit- ish Red Cross in a cablegram.
